Levi's

Levi Strauss & Co. was one of the first global companies to re-enter the South African market following the peaceful democratic elections in 1994. Eighty percent (80%) of the Levi Strauss first staff intake were previously unemployed or had no prior industry experience. This was to show Levi’s commitment to empowerment and upliftment in South Africa. The company has grown since and now employs over 700 people with offices in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. Many Levi's® jeans sold in South Africa are manufactured in Levi's®production facility in Epping. Levi Strauss South Africa reports in to the Asia Pacific regional office, one of three global divisions. LS&CO was founded bya Bavarian immigrant in 1853, by the name of Levi Strauss.
